Research interests
AsPr Aisbett leads a research program that uses exercise science to enable workplaces to promote and preserve the health and safety of workers in physically demanding occupations (e.g., military, emergency services, nursing). His specific exercise science expertise includes the analysis of: physical work demands, workers’ heat stress and hydration, stress, sleep and fatigue; and development of job specific fitness tests.
He has worked in partnership with over 20 organisations spanning the civilian and military emergency services, contributing to their policy and procedures on workers' health, safety, and selection.
